our first New Zealand trip
Look at these words. Do they sound familiar?
Sheep, Kiwi fruit, mountains, oceans, alps, picturesque landscape, sunshine, idyllic beaches, blue skies, the All Blacks, silver fern, wine country, ski fields!
New Zealand is a big country that is made up of the North and South Island. And yes, you definitely, definitely need a road map when you move around in a rental car in New Zealand!
It has lots to offer to any person, of any budget, from any country, for any age and for whatever length of travel. This is an ideal place to sit back and indulge. It is also a great place to satisfy your adrenaline rush and get active.
This is our first family holiday in a rental car in New Zealand since our one year old Clayton came along. It’s a long wait for a travel bug like me. Months before the trip, I spent countless hours researching and planning for our itinerary. I checked many websites, travel guides and books. Spoke to lots of friends, locals and relatives.
Take a New Zealand cruise, hire a rental car in New Zealand. Shop for a New Zealand gift. It’s one place you won’t get bored. There is something for everyone. Anytime. Anyplace.
